I recently passed my car test , and got my car MOT`ed and a new battery put in yesterday. I was given some new 6X9 speakers which i fitted and went to turn on the radio and something flashed up on the display but i didnt get chance to see what it was before it turned off , the problem is that it wont turn back on , does anyone no why?

You've fried something.

Check the fuses first.

Is the stereo coded ? If it is and you've removed the battery, you will need to re-enter the code.

If its not, check all the connections to the back of the stereo, sometimes they can come out when you push it back into the hole.

If thats not it, youve bricked ya stereo somehow Wink

There'll be a fuse in the head unit itself, most likely. Don't forget to check that one before you bin it.

I think it is , but i dont know the code, the player itself is a factory fitted one for a seat Ibiza 1996 , does anyone know the default code and how to enter it?

If it was coded it'd be asking for a code, it wouldn't just be switched off.

Check the fuse first, as said.

Did you fiddle with the wires at the back of the stereo at all?

Code might be written on the stereo...

You can get the code from a dealer, but I dont think that is your problem here.

Yes, that'll be fine. Speakers will be able to handle the power the player puts out, so won't blow.

without getting too technical, and likely chatting rubbish about something im only vaugely familiar with the watt ratings you should go by are the RMS figures, not the peak figures.

People (i.e the internet) suggest matching the RMS figures, but tbh unless you are going for top end audio (which if considering using the standard head unit I guess you aren't) it'll likely be fine with no noticable difference whatever.

You will get a noticeable difference if you amp the 6x9's though.

Like tuning a car or owning a bike, ICE can be a slippery slope - there is always something else which is better, bigger, more powerful or any other reason which you will feel you 'need' to spend your hard earned on.

If you're interested there are lots of forums on car audio all over the net.

Hmmm, you'll also be able to cook eggs on the head unit..... Wink
